Bullocks K9 Kennels and Training

I wish I did a better job researching information about Mike Bullock of Bullock's K9 and his reputation and the comments heard as to why local Law Enforcement agencies weren't getting their dogs from Bullock's K9. Also as to why he lost a Law Suit brought against him. I heard comments that he was sued for slander which would explain his untruthful response to this review. I purchased a male German Shepherd from Mike to be our personal dog and for occasional breeding. Mike assured me he took the dog to his veteranarian and it was healthy and ready to breed. I asked him if it would be okay to breed him while we are waiting for its pedigree papers and he said yes no problem. After breeding with our female and after placing the puppies we noticed the male began to wobble when walking. Took it to our veterinarian and discovered the dog had Degenerative Myelopathy. We would never have accepted or bred the dog knowing it wasn't healthy. We believe Mike knew something was wrong with the dog before selling it to us. We contacted those who purchased the puppies and offered to replace it with another healthy puppy from an upcoming litter at no cost to them. After confronting Mike about this issue and asking for a refund he instead wanted to replace the dog which I refused. He gave the refund with a check that Bounced due to INSUFFICIENT FUNDS twice. I have saved all of the text messages from Mike regarding this matter which reveal him being less than honest about the condition of the dog and paperwork for the dog. We found him to be very dishonest and seemingly desperate for money.
